retreat! (not the custer kind)

so, this weekend im at camp. on fall break. for a mother/daughter retreat. now, for those of you who dont know me (and for those that do), i am neither a mother nor daughter. so why am i here, you ask? good question! because i love camp! being here isnt just a job. its not just a way to earn money/learn skills. its a time to be with "family" (after working with these people 10+ weeks, they become like family). its a time for being outside at the lake. its a time to stargaze without much light pollution. its a time to get up early, go to bed late, but love every second. to be really tired after a long day of rec. activities. to walk around looking ridiculous while trying to find a cell signal - IF you can find one! a time to stay in the m.u./bcr/bcl.

today i spent the day playing games with the mothers/daughters, leading worship, belaying on the climbing wall, and belaying in high ropes. now for those who dont know, our climbing wall is roughly 45 feet with 6 different possible routes. i had one of the routes today and belayed roughly 7 people per class (1 hr). and high ropes? what is that, you ask? well, its a ropes course. in the trees. that are high. there fore = high ropes course, or the shortenenated version: high ropes. its a fairly straight-forward course, with 2 exits (a free fall, and a zip line) the free fall is ~30ft, the zip tower is roughly 60ft. i finished up just in time to eat dinner :)
